About

Working with children really helps me to understand how they think, and what makes them smile. This is a great trait when photographing children, and not everyone is good with kids. Also working with a sports like background it is easy for me to capture great photographs for dance, soccer, gymnastics, cheerleading, football, and many other sports because I know when the right moment is to take the picture. I also feel that with my work backgrounds it causes me to work and get along with all different kinds of people from many different backgrounds.
